Re rite from fhe Ari1ona Daily Sun

$15 .01 million to the Je>int S~nate-House
Appropnations Committee Feb . 22.
A.nzona budget analysts cut the request to
$1~ . 765 mallion. Rep . l:iam McConnell, H.­Williams
. charged the analysts with failmg to do
thetr homework. McConnell sa1d the analysls did.
not even come to E<'lagstaff to look at NAU 's
budget. but relted on execut1ve
recommendations rece1ved on the phone rather
than a personal analysts.
1 w o phone ca lis
" I felt a budget. w1th $13 m1llion certainly
deserved more than two phone calls to analyze
tt ... McConnell sa1d.
McConnell noted, "These analysts in the past
have alwavs m.ade a more thorough analysts.
Thev made a Lot of excuses why they didn't do
thE'ir Job this vear, but these were not valid."
The char~e s were made bv McConnell near
11Jc fnd ol an all dav hearmg ol th£> Jmnt Senate­''"
u".' Ar10ropnattons Comm1ttee.
llr .J. Lawrence Walkup, unr•crstly prestdent,
pomted out that. the $L3 m1Lhon hgure proposed
bv the analvsts is $175,400 less than the same
le~islature appropriated for AU last year.
Walkup said the unaversity ts willing to
cooperate wa<h the stale m holdmg expenditures
to a 5.3 per cen~ mcrease, but he md1cated the
recommended budgft figure ts below needs.
The le~tslatwe allocation would not make up
the total budget for the umver tty. Adding fees
and other mcome to the $15 .Ul mtllton request,
the budget would be $17,584.600.
Cut back spending
Gov . . Jack Wllhams ha asked that all state
agencies cut back spendmg at this time to assure
state employes a 5 per cent cost of Livmg raise
next vear.
•· AU ask for a 5.3 per cent legislative
appropriation increase," Walkup said, ··which is
the average of ~ educational institutions, with
the willmgness to take care of tbe 5 per cent cost
of living increaS€ asked by tbe governor so that
IJP would DOl have to worry about thts mcrease .as
far as .J.U is ~rned.''
Walkup noted the inflation increase in Arizona
from November lm-7s was 8.6 per cent.
"Last spring the inflation rate was not at tbe
same pace that it has been recently," Walkup
n<~ mted out. " It has been well publicized that
ri"<ed •·osts such as utilities have .experienced an
mflatton rate of 12 to 11 per cent, and even state
a~encaes have· recognized this fact in some
bud~ets ...
More$$$$$
"' It has not been recogmzed as far as NAlJ is
concerned. To raise the operational costs to take
care of this inflatlon will mean another
~136 .000 . .. said Walkup.
Walkup said another area of difference which
has proven disastrous m past years is when
antic tp ated income is raised above that
recommended by the universtty.
Those who have analyzed the budget have
J')la<:ed withm the budget a $63 ,500 increase in
revenue. This was done two years ago and not
one dtme of the amount placed in the budget
above ~he university 's recommendation was
forthcommg. Walkup observed.
Deficit budget
" We feel this will cre.ate a deficit budget for
NAU to have to work with in 1974-75. This neecJs
immediate attention;· said Walkup.
" NAll is willing t.o propose that. NAU's budget
start with the 5 .3 per cent increase in
appropriation, and l:hat AU will relieve the
~overnor of the problem of worrying about the 5
per cent cost of Living increas'e. The institution
will take care of t.nat problem within the 5.3 per
cent mcrease requested,' ' prGmised Walkup.
